Answer:

  • The y-intercept is (0, -37/7).

Explanation:

When you have one point and the slope of a line you can find its equation by using the point-slope form of the linear function:

  • m = slope
  • point = (a, b)
  • point-slope equation: (y - b) = m (x - a).

Now substitute m = -1/7 and (a,b) = (5, - 6)

  • y - (-6) = -1/7 (x - 5)

Solve for y:

  • y + 6 = - 1/7 ( x - 5)
  • 7y + 7(6) = - (x - 5)
  • 7y + 42 = - x + 5
  • 7y = - x + 5 - 42
  • 7y = - x - 37
  • y = -(1/7)x - 37/7 ← this is the slope-intercept form of the equation.

The y-intercept is the point when x = 0. So, the corresponding y-coordinate is the constant term in the last equation:

  • y = 0 - 37/7 = - 37/7

And the y-intercept is the point (0, -37/7).

Find the equation of the line that goes through the point (2, -3) and has a slope of -1.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

soo since we already know the slope we can subsitute it to the slope form equation

y = mx + b

y = -x + b

now to find the y intercept we have to subsitute the given point

-3 = -(2) + b

-3 = -2 + b

b = -1

A screwdriver is 20 centimeters long, and a piece of wire is 10 millimeters long. The screwdriver is how many times as long as t
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: 20 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of piece of wire = 10 millimeters

The length of screwdriver = 20 centimeters

We know that 1 cm = 10 mm

Therefore, the  length of screwdriver = 20\times10=200 millimeters

The ratio of the length of screwdriver and length of wire is given by :-

\frac{\text{length of screwdriver}}{\text{length of piece of wire}}=\frac{200}{10}=20

The screwdriver is 20 times as long as the wire.
